The business sections could provide rudimentary location and business names. The L.I. room librarians can also suggest material -- maps, surveys, news clippings, etc. Well worth a trip. http://www.queenslibrary.org/index.aspx?page_nm=CEL Divisions&branch_id=CEL&pid=546 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
